v clinical pharmacology or pharmacotherapeutics, which is a branch of pharmacology that
v v v v v v v v v v




v deals with the uses of drugs to treat, prevent, and diagnose disease. The nurse working in
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




v radiology is administering a drug to help diagnose a disease. The nurse working on an
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




v oncology unit is administering a drug to help treat adisease. Pharmacoeconomics

2.A physician has ordered intramuscular injections of morphine, a narcotic, every 4 hours
v v v v v v v v v v v v




vas needed for pain for a motor vehicle accident victim. The nurse is aware thatthere is a
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




vhigh abuse potential for this drug; therefore, morphine is categorized as a:
v v v v v v v v v v v




A) Schedule I drug v v




B) Schedule II drug v v




C) Schedule III drug v v




D) Schedule IV drug v v

, ANSWER: B
Response:

v v v v v v v v v v v v v




v potential with severe dependence liability. Schedule I drugs have high abuse potential
v v v v v v v v v v v




v and no accepted medical use. Schedule III drugs have a lesser abuse potential than
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




schedule II drugs and an accepted medical use. Schedule IV drugs havelow abuse

potential and limited dependence liability.
